Trump has previously stated that he intends to initiate what he calls the “largest deportation program in the history of the world.”
The video of Selena Gomez crying over deportations caused a rift among users of social media, but the White House has reiterated its position on the matter.
A month ago, Selena Gomez uploaded a video to her Instagram page in which she was seen crying in front of the camera as she mused on the America that Donald Trump has created.
The President of the United States maintained that he would take measures to reduce and expel undocumented immigrants who were living in the United States.
He signed an executive order shortly after he became president, and it is believed that it would have an effect on millions of people and result in their deportation. Gomez is concerned about these individuals.
Additionally, she asserted that someone was attacking “her people,” most likely in reference to the fact that she is of Mexican descent.
Due to the fact that she received some criticism from other users of social media, she erased the video not long after it was posted.
On January 31, the White House posted its own video on Instagram as a response to the criticism that was levelled at it.
Undocumented immigrants were responsible for the deaths of Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin, according to the description that was included on the page.
In response to individuals who are opposed to safeguarding our borders, their brave mothers had something to say to @SelenaGomez.
What do you think?
Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin were murdered by illegal aliens.

”
What about our children who were brutally murdered and raped and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants?” expressed Tammy Nobles, Kayla Hamilton’s mother, in the video. “What about our children?”
“You have no idea who you are crying for,” she declared. The tears that they shed were not for our daughters.
“Seeing that video, it is hard to believe that it is actually genuine and real because she is an actress,” said Alex Nungaray, Jocelyn Nungaray’s mother. “It is almost impossible to believe that it is genuine and real.”
“Despite the fact that my daughter was a child, there are a great number of other children whose lives were taken as a result of people who crossed this border illegally.”
I just feel like it’s a trick to fool people and to generate sympathy for lawlessness,” said Rachel Morin’s mother, Patty Morin, in a comment that was also included in the film.
When it comes to crying about our children, we mothers are the only ones who have stood up at this point.
After that, all three of them expressed their satisfaction with the fact that Trump is now in office and is taking a firm stand against illegal immigration. They also unanimously complimented Trump for his efforts to address immigration issues.
There was a range of reactions to this video across various social media platforms. In spite of the fact that they continued to criticise the celebrity, some individuals complimented the White House for responding to Gomez.
From the official White House website, however, there were many who felt that it was unprofessional and that it was taking advantage of the pain of these mothers in order to make political points.
The representatives of Selena Gomez have been contacted by UNILAD in order to obtain a comment.
These are the new immigration and deportation measures that Trump has implemented.
According to the statement made by the 78-year-old individual, he will initiate the “largest deportation program in the history of the world,” adding that he will deport “maybe as many as 20 million” individuals.
“We will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” he stated to reporters.
To whom is the expulsion of individuals being directed?
It was said by the president that the strategy will initially target migrants who have been suspected of committing crimes; nevertheless, it is possible that any and all migrants who are illegally present in the United States could be vulnerable to deportation.
Assaults on a separate group
‘Collateral arrests’ are a term that refers to the practice of arresting illegal migrants who have not been accused of any crime but who were discovered in close proximity to persons who have been accused of committing one or more crimes.
deportations would begin “very quickly,” according to the administration of President Trump; nevertheless, it is quite possible that he will require the assistance of Congress in order to provide additional cash in order to really carry out all of these deportations.
What are the abilities that law enforcement now possesses?
In order to gather information on undocumented migrants, including prospective locations, President Trump has given orders to various government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, the United States Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Prisons.
The president has also instructed federal officials to conduct an investigation into any local authorities that make it difficult for him to implement his new regulations that are intended to tighten immigration restrictions.
In addition to this, the administration made the announcement that it would be removing a policy that prohibited places of worship and schools from being subject to arrests.
Additional immigration policies implemented by Trump
Limits on travel for refugees
His most contentious immigration policies, such as the prohibition on travel for refugees and travellers, particularly those coming from Muslim nations, were among the ones that Trump pledged to expand before to his inauguration as president.
In a prior statement, he stated, “We will seal our border and bring up the travel ban.” Are you familiar with the well-known travel ban? We refrained from recruiting individuals from particular regions of the world. They will not be taken from nations that are plagued with the disease.
Abolition of the birthright citizenship system
In a separate executive order, the President of the United States declared his intention to repeal the birthright citizenship program for children of undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
The prospective modification to birthright citizenship, on the other hand, was deemed “blatantly unconstitutional” by a judge in the District Court in Seattle, which stops it from going into full force without being immediately challenged in court.
Stopping “all illegal entry” into the United States
Announcing his intention to “stop” any “illegal entry” into the United States, the Republican made this announcement during his inaugural address.
An additional executive order imposed a blanket ban on the entry of undocumented migrants into the United States under all circumstances. The order stated that individuals who arrived on American soil ‘are prevented from invoking’ provisions such as asylum.
‘Remain in Mexico’ program was brought back into operation.
The ‘Remain in Mexico’ program, which mandates that non-Mexican asylum seekers wait for their hearing dates in the United States within Mexican territory, has been reinstated as a result of even another executive order.
The Mexican government is making preparations for the arrival of thousands of deportees from the United States, which it anticipates will occur within the next few weeks.
